A TOUR OF REYKJAVIK: Iceland's CoolCapital

published:20 Nov 2016

views:58695

Reykjavik, Iceland’s coastal capital, is renowned for the late-night clubs and bars in its compact center. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s dramatic landscape is the volcanic setting of the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa.

Video tour around Reykjavik in Iceland.
Reykjavík (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈreiːcaˌviːk] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of Iceland. Its latitude, at 64°08' N, makes it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of the Faxaflói Bay. With a population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Greater Reykjavík Area), it is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which Ingólfur Arnarson is said to have established around AD 870. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

Reykjavík, the capital and largest city of Iceland, is the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders; Thingvellir National Park, the GeysirGeothermalField, and Gullfoss.
Iceland’s main ring road strings together an endless series of epic landscapes. Less than two hours drive east of Reykjavik are two of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Continue eastward towards Vík, Iceland’s southern-most village, where you’ll find the dramatic landscapes of Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrholaey. Follow the ring road for another two hours into the ethereal light of Jökulsárlón Lake, where icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and float for years before tumbling out to sea.
Head north and feel the earth rumble at Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss. Then explore the Myvatn region, a tranquil lake surrounded by nature in all its violent beauty. Take a careful walk through the boiling landscape of Namafjall, lose yourself amid the lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, and peer into the caldera of Krafla Volcano.
Known as the Capital of the North, Akureyri is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy some creature comforts, before heading off into the wilds again. In Iceland, every side road is a story waiting to unfold. So come, and live your own Icelandic story, it’s one you’ll keep telling for the rest of your days.

Iceland

Iceland (i/ˈaɪslænd/; Icelandic:Ísland[ˈistlant]), also called the Republic of Iceland, is a Nordicisland country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 329,100 and an area of 103,000km2 (40,000sqmi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Reykjavík and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence still keeps summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate.

Reykjavík

Reykjavík (Icelandic pronunciation:[ˈreiːcaˌviːk], English /ˈreɪkjəˌvik/; RAYK-yə-veek) is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It has a latitude of 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state and a popular tourist destination. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of the Faxaflói Bay. With a population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Capital Region), it is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.

Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which Ingólfur Arnarson is said to have established in AD 874. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national center of commerce, population, and governmental activities.

The Capital Inn Guesthouse - Reykjavik

The most beautiful cities in the world - Reykjavík, Iceland

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It has a latitude of 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state, and is a popular tourist destination. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxa Bay. It is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Ingólfur Arnarson, was established in AD 874. Until the 19th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities.

A TOUR OF REYKJAVIK: Iceland's CoolCapital

Reykjavik, Iceland’s coastal capital, is renowned for the late-night clubs and bars in its compact center. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s dramatic landscape is the volcanic setting of the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa.

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders; Thingvellir National Park, the GeysirGeothermalField, and Gullfoss.
Iceland’s main ring road strings together an endless series of epic landscapes. Less than two hours drive east of Reykjavik are two of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Continue eastward towards Vík, Iceland’s southern-most village, where you’ll find the dramatic landscapes of Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrholaey. Follow the ring road for another two hours into the ethereal light of Jökulsárlón Lake, where icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and float for years before tumbling out to sea.
Head north and feel the earth rumble at Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss. Then explore the Myvatn region, a tranquil lake surrounded by nature in all its violent beauty. Take a careful walk through the boiling landscape of Namafjall, lose yourself amid the lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, and peer into the caldera of Krafla Volcano.
Known as the Capital of the North, Akureyri is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy some creature comforts, before heading off into the wilds again. In Iceland, every side road is a story waiting to unfold. So come, and live your own Icelandic story, it’s one you’ll keep telling for the rest of your days.

Iceland Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Iceland.
Iceland is an island born of fire and ice with white glaciers, black beaches and green meadows: a land of geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes.Reykjavik is set amid a fascinating landscape, a metropolis on the outermost edge of civilisation and the world’s northernmost capital city. A little outside the city is an attraction that is a meeting place for one and all, The Blue Lagoon, the largest bath tub in the world! The mineral water it contains has a temperature of forty degrees centigrade and the milky-blue pool has been proven to possess beneficial healing qualities. Southeast of The Blue Lagoon is Hveragerdi that is set within an idyllic valley. Due to its protected location and numerous thermal springs, in 1929 a garden city originated there and wi...

How to Visit Iceland on a Budget

Think you can’t afford to visit Iceland? Think again! Here’s how you can travel Iceland for under $100USD per day.
———————————————————————————————————————
Iceland is an incredible country with tons of amazing things to offer tourists, including natural beauty, friendly people, and exciting outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it can also be really expensive. With an average daily cost of $200 USD, many travelers see Iceland as being outside their budget.
Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case. How do I know? Because I traveled through Iceland for under $100 USD per day.
And you can do the same—all you need is a little patience, planning, and flexibility.

12 Amazing Places in Iceland

From the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon, to the most active volcano on the island; These are 12 AMAZING Places in Iceland !
Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv
12. Reynisdrangar
11. The Ice Cave
10. Goðafoss
9. Skogafoss
8. Kirkjufell
7. Strokkur
6. Grjótagjá
This place with a really hard name to pronounce is basically evidence that Iceland is a pretty mysterious and magical place. This certainly a “hot spot” for locals and tourist a like. The natural forming rift here is found over geothermal activity but it heats up to just the right temperature, allowing people to take dip. In 1975, after a volcano erupted the water temperature rose too high for swimmers and due to the varying pressure in the Earth’s crust, it’s recommended to check with locals to see if it’s safe to swim i...

ICELAND TRAVEL DIARY

Iceland is by far one of the most unique places we've ever visited. It honestly felt like we were on a different planet! It was like a photographers dreamland, because the sunset lasted for 3 hours (hello golden hour!), and the sun never fully went down. We got back to our Airbnb around midnight every night, because we got too carried away exploring! We had the best time with Brad's sister Natalie and her little family -- they have two little girls that are exactly Lucy & Greta's age!

Reykjavik is Iceland`s gateway to the world and is one of the smallesThe Hallgrims Kirkja is one of Reykjavik’s main landmarks, a Neo Gothic church that was built between 1945 and 1986. It was named after a famous religious minister and poet of the 17th century, Hallgímur Pétursson. Both its design and large dimensions are impressive. Tjörnin is located in the centre of the city, a wonderful small lake surrounded by spacious parks and the new City Hall is also located there.

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York.
Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja.
Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders; Thingvellir National Park, the GeysirGeothermalField, and Gullfoss.
Iceland’s main ring road strings together an endless series of epic landscapes. Less than two hours drive east of Reykjavik are two of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Continue eastward towards Vík, Iceland’s southern-most village, where you’ll find the dramatic landscapes of Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrholaey. Follow the ring road for another two hours into the ethereal light of Jökulsárlón Lake, where icebergs break away from Europe’s largest glacier and float for years before tumbling out to sea.
Head north and feel the earth rumble at Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss. Then explore the Myvatn region, a tranquil lake surrounded by nature in all its violent beauty. Take a careful walk through the boiling landscape of Namafjall, lose yourself amid the lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, and peer into the caldera of Krafla Volcano.
Known as the Capital of the North, Akureyri is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy some creature comforts, before heading off into the wilds again. In Iceland, every side road is a story waiting to unfold. So come, and live your own Icelandic story, it’s one you’ll keep telling for the rest of your days.

Iceland: The UltimateTravelGuide by TourRadar gives you all the info you need to explore the island of fire and ice like a pro. Learn some basics about the country, including what you have to do & see once you arrive, when it's best to travel and which food & drinks you definitely need to enjoy throughout your journey.
-----------------------------------------------
Iceland has something for every traveller, no matter if you’re looking to relax or channel your inner thrill seeker. If you want to chill out then you must visit Blue Lagoon, the ultimate geothermal spa in the country, located in a lava field in Grindavik. Of course, there’s plenty of natural springs scattered throughout the country, many along the Reykjanes Peninsula. The rich minerals will leave your skin feeling brand new. Once you’re relaxed and ready for an adventure you’ll want to add a few hiking trails to your list of must-have experiences. Take a walk through Thingvellier National Park or the Latrabjarg Cliffs, go river rafting down HvitaRiver, snorkel through the Silfra ravine or even kayak between fjords in Ísafjörðu.
Travelling along Iceland’s Ring Road (which covers the entire circumference of the country) will allow you to cross off these essential Icelandic bucket list items with ease. Booking a tour will ensure your trip is fun, flawless and stress-free: http://www.tourradar.com/d/iceland
Remember to pack your waterproof hiking boots, waterproof rain jacket, swimsuit, flip flops, thin gloves, hiking socks, sunglasses, and a camera with extra batteries.
Iceland’s currency is the Icelandic krona. The country is a mostly cashless society so don’t hesitate to back your debit and credit cards as they are likely to be accepted everywhere. Alcohol and restaurant meals can be more expensive than one might anticipate so bring enough cash to accommodate your needs.
---About Iceland---
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, exists on a remote island between Norway and Greenland and boasts a modest population of just over 300,000 people. You’ll soon discover that there are plenty of reasons to make your next vacation an Icelandic one.
Roughly 10% of the country’s surface is covered by glaciers and there are 130 volcanoes spread throughout, 18 of which have erupted since the settlement of Iceland 1100 years ago. Nearly 60% of the nation’s entire population live in the capital city of Reykjavik and those who do not are scattered sparsely throughout its rural countryside.

This is HolidayExtras’ Travel guides and we’re here in Iceland. We’ll be giving you all the essential information you need to Travel Better. We’ll be covering money, language, tips on where to go and even how to see the Northern Lights. But first, here’s a bit about the country itself.
Iceland is between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, about a three hour flight north from London. Iceland is unlike anywhere we’ve been before, its volcanic landscapes and picturesque backdrops create this almost untouched feeling and it’ll make you fall in love with the country.
Most international flights will arrive at Keflavik (KEF) airport, which is 40 minutes outside the capital city of Reykjavik and it’s here, where we’ll start.
Greyline and Flybus run transfer buses 35 minutes after each landing. Both services offer a hotel drop off at selected hotels for an additional fee. they cover most hotels but if you isn’t on there, you can find out which stop is closest and just walk the rest of the way.
An airport taxi will set you back around 12,000 Krona for the 45 minute journey. However, self-drive holidays are really popular here and, if this is ahwt you’re planning, then it makes sense to pick up your hire car at the airport, before you head into Reykjavik.
Reykjavik is the base for most holidays in Iceland. It’s the world’s most northernly capital city and it’s a hub for Icelandic culture. Reykjavik is the embodiment of the Iceland culture of proud self-sufficiency and fierce interest in the arts. There’s no McDonald’s or Starbucks here; instead, its streets are lined with independent coffee shops and boutiques. There’s always something going on and the nightlife is legendary. Don’t forget to pick up your free copy of the Reykjavik Grapevine for what’s going on while you’re here.
It’s worth trying to stay in the centre as a room in the middle puts everything within walking distance. AirBnBs and hotels and plentiful but if you’re coming in the summer, book in advance because it can get super busy. If you want to book a tour out of the city, then head to Laugavegur. There are loads of tourist information outlets here that can help you with anything you want to do.
After spending some time in Reykjavik, we recommend jumping in your car and taking a day to explore the Golden Circle. It’s one of Iceland’s most popular tours, taking in the Geyser, Thingvellir National Park and Gulfoss.
If you’re staying a bit longer, then the south coast is a must. Follow the Ring Road all the way to the Jokulsarlon GlacierLagoon, stopping off at sites like Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss and some of the world’s most beautiful black sand beaches. And of course, don’t forget to stop by the Blue Lagoon on your way back. It’s only 20 minutes outside Keflavik airport and it’s the perfect way to end your Icelandic adventure.
Getting around Iceland on your own is surprisingly straight-forward. The main Ring Road connects all the major towns and if you stick to it, you can’t really go wrong. Now bear in mind that driving here is nothing like driving at home so there are a few things you need to know…
Summer is the time to do a driving holiday, as the roads will be open and the conditions will be good with lots of daylight. The weather in Winter can make driving difficult and once you leave Reykjavik it can get quite dangerous. It’s not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing; getting stuck in a white-out isn’t fun.
If you plan on straying off the Ring Road, then hire a four wheel drive car. the roads can be uneven and pot-holes are common. Do not go on F Roads, as hire cars are not allowed on them. Off-road driving is forbidden as it damages the environment. You’ll get fined around 350,000 Krona if caught.

Travel video about destination Iceland.
Iceland is an island born of fire and ice with white glaciers, black beaches and green meadows: a land of geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes.Reykjavik is set amid a fascinating landscape, a metropolis on the outermost edge of civilisation and the world’s northernmost capital city. A little outside the city is an attraction that is a meeting place for one and all, The Blue Lagoon, the largest bath tub in the world! The mineral water it contains has a temperature of forty degrees centigrade and the milky-blue pool has been proven to possess beneficial healing qualities. Southeast of The Blue Lagoon is Hveragerdi that is set within an idyllic valley. Due to its protected location and numerous thermal springs, in 1929 a garden city originated there and within its many greenhouses grow vegetables, fruit and exotic flowers. Amid the historic Pingvellir Plains, once the location of ancient gatherings and where justice was administered, is the Öxararfoss Waterfall, the island’s oldest Man made device that was used to supply the region with drinking water. On the southern tip of Iceland is the small village of Skogar. The interior of the houses are comfortably furnished and the privately owned HomelandMuseum gives a good insight into the daily life of bygone times. Large stones support the wooden sides of the houses, the roofs and remaining walls of which are protected by grass-covered earth. In this area is one of the island’s most gigantic and highest waterfalls, Skogafoss, that rages sixty metres into the depths below. The mist above the water cloaks the sight of this mighty natural wonder whose water thunders down across the cliffs of the ancient shoreline with awesome power. Iceland is a fascinating world of water, fire and ice and full of breathtaking beauty and overwhelming contrast. It is one of the last natural paradises on Earth.

I’m Abi and I’m here with the HolidayExtras Travel Guides, in Iceland. And in no particular order, here are our top things to do…
First is the Blue Lagoon. This geothermally-heated pool has become Iceland’s must-do. Its water reaches up to 38 degrees and its algae, minerals and silica is said to condition and rejuvenate the skin.
Gullfoss is an enormous and breath-taking waterfall on the Hvita river.
You can see regular geothermal eruptions at Geysir, although it’s actually its smaller neighbour, Strokkur, that goes off every 10 minutes or so.
Thingvellir National Park is where you can see the join between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
Reykjavik is Iceland’s capital city and the embodiment of the Icelandic culture of self-sufficiency and a keen interest in the arts. For 900 Krona you can take the lift to the top of Hallgrimskirkja for unparalleled views over the city.
Down by the harbour the SagaMuseum is the place to learn all about Iceland’s Viking history. You can even try some authentic armour or just go for the faux fur and sword option like me.
About 15 minutes outside of Reykjavik is the Laxnes HorseFarm. Fun fact: Icelandic horses have two gaits, which is two more than any other breed.
Hiring a car is absolutely the best way to experience Iceland. The RingRoad runs around the entire country and if you want to do the whole thing, we’d give it at least two weeks.
Seljalandsfoss is just off the Ring Road, about 90 minutes South-East of Reykjavik. Part of this one’s charm is you can walk all the way around behind it but you’ll need waterproofs!
About 15 minutes further along is the giant waterfall, Skogafoss. We’re at the top of Skogafoss. It’s absolutely beautiful but nothing like what I expected. There are stairs that you can climb, all the way to the top, and believe me, it takes a while to take your time. But the real gem is actually back here. So you climb over a fence, it’s quite muddy, quite uneven terrain as well, but it’s beautiful. You can see all the way down, where the river runs, and it’s genuinely the most beautiful Icelandic scenery I’ve seen so far.
Seljavallalaug is a secret geothermal pool. To get to it, you drive to the end of road 242, park your car and then hike the rest of the way through a breath-taking valley. It’s not the easiest of routes but it is worth it.
Up next, Reynisfjara beach. Well, just take a look for yourself - it’s stunning.
And now it’s the canyon with the impossible name. The canyon is totally off the tourist track. It’s over 100 metres deep and 2km long.
Next up is one of the most beautiful places we visited in Iceland. Jokulsarlon translates as ‘glacier river lagoon’ and basically it’s just where the sea over there, meets the glacier and it breaks off into all of these chunks. Personally, I think it’s the best place for a bit of photography.
Glacier hiking was easily my favourite Iceland experience. The sheer scale of this landscape leaves you in awe. And, the climbing itself wasn’t as easy as it looks.
Only around in winter, the ice caves at vatnajokull glacier have to be seen to be believed. We did a tour with the guys from iceguide.is. They provided all the extra kit we needed and are really friendly and true experts when it comes to exploring the caves.
Iceland is one of the best countries for seeing the Northern Lights. When I eventually saw them, the colours and sheer vibrancy were something I’ll never forget.
So that was our top things to do. Hopefully we’ve given you some inspiration for your own adventures. Keep watching for more Iceland content and subscribe for a new video every week.

So you climb over a fence, it’s quite muddy, quite uneven terrain as well, but it’s beautiful. You can see all the way down, where the river runs, and it’s genuinely the most beautiful Icelandic scenery I’ve seen so far.
Seljavallalaug is a secret geothermal pool. To get to it, you drive to the end of road 242, park your car and then hike the rest of the way through a breath-taking valley. It’s not the easiest of routes but it is worth it.
Up next, Reynisfjara beach. Well, just take a look for yourself - it’s stunning.
And now it’s the canyon with the impossible name. The canyon is totally off the tourist track. It’s over 100 metres deep and 2km long.
Next up is one of the most beautiful places we visited in Iceland. Jokulsarlon translates as ‘glacier river lagoon’ and basically it’s just where the sea over there, meets the glacier and it breaks off into all of these chunks. Personally, I think it’s the best place for a bit of photography.
Glacier hiking was easily my favourite Iceland experience. The sheer scale of this landscape leaves you in awe. And, the climbing itself wasn’t as easy as it looks.
Only around in winter, the ice caves at vatnajokull glacier have to be seen to be believed. We did a tour with the guys from iceguide.is. They provided all the extra kit we needed and are really friendly and true experts when it comes to exploring the caves.
Iceland is one of the best countries for seeing the Northern Lights. When I eventually saw them, the colours and sheer vibrancy were something I’ll never forget.
So that was our top things to do. Hopefully we’ve given you some inspiration for your own adventures. Keep watching for more Iceland content and subscribe for a new video every week.

Think you can’t afford to visit Iceland? Think again! Here’s how you can travel Iceland for under $100USD per day.
———————————————————————————————————————
Iceland is an incredible country with tons of amazing things to offer tourists, including natural beauty, friendly people, and exciting outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it can also be really expensive. With an average daily cost of $200 USD, many travelers see Iceland as being outside their budget.
Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case. How do I know? Because I traveled through Iceland for under $100 USD per day.
And you can do the same—all you need is a little patience, planning, and flexibility.

From the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon, to the most active volcano on the island; These are 12 AMAZING Places in Iceland !
Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv
12. Reynisdrangar
11. The Ice Cave
10. Goðafoss
9. Skogafoss
8. Kirkjufell
7. Strokkur
6. Grjótagjá
This place with a really hard name to pronounce is basically evidence that Iceland is a pretty mysterious and magical place. This certainly a “hot spot” for locals and tourist a like. The natural forming rift here is found over geothermal activity but it heats up to just the right temperature, allowing people to take dip. In 1975, after a volcano erupted the water temperature rose too high for swimmers and due to the varying pressure in the Earth’s crust, it’s recommended to check with locals to see if it’s safe to swim in. It’s not everyday you get the chance to swim at sweet cave hot spring pool like this, and we imagine you don’t want to get boiled alive if it’s too hot, so it’s worth asking.
5. Blue Lagoon, Iceland
Not a big fan of chlorine getting in your eyes? If you’re looking for a naturally warm swimming pools, look no further than the Northern European country of Iceland. This actually wasn’t naturally created like many on this list but made during a construction of geothermal powerplant. People began to notice the therapeutic qualities of the water and the mud and they just decided to not build the power plant after all . What’s also crazy about this pool, is that it’s located on the Mid AtlanticRidge which will allow you to swim from one fault to the other, technically on two different continents. It’s certainly one of Iceland's most popular tourist attractions so you might see some cocktail waitresses bringing out some drinks! While this location is open to the public, the closest hotel that most people stay at here is the Blue Lagoon Clinic hotel. So drop your stuff off, enjoy this natural wonder. And don’t forget to bring a towel!
4. Hallgrimskirkja
When you reach the charming capital city of Reykjavik before flying back, make sure to check out a few of the man made structures as well. And if you’re feeling extra courageous be sure to try the SHEEP’S head at a local restaurant, which is a delicacy here! This strange Lutheran church is known as Hallgrimskirkja and I really would not want to take a spelling test in Iceland! It’s one of the most notable buildings in this city and it rises 244 feet in the sky, making it Iceland’s tallest structure! The peak of the tower is also used as an observational tower to keep an eye on the city! The view from the top is certainly amazing as well and you can notice how colorful the town truly is! There’s also an organ here with over 5000 pipes and is 45 feet tall! The statue of the explorer Leif Ericsson stands proud in front of the church here and which was a present from us Americans. By the way, your welcome
3. Asbyrgi
And just like that, we’re back to the nature which is probably the best thing to enjoy on this island Located in Northern Iceland this is amazing canyon is flooded with trees down below and is home to a vast ecosystem of different species. This is found east of Husavik and is notable for its steep canyon sides which can rise up to 300 feet high at a near perfect 90 degree angle in some cases. It’s believed that this unique canyon was formed from massive glacial flooding after the last ice age! It must have been a pretty dramatic thing to witness. The horseshoe shape will help give you an idea of where you are at all times!
2. LakeKerid
This intense piece of Icelandic geography is found in the western part of the country and is also impressive when it freezes over a few times each year. This lake is surrounded by red volcanic rock and it’s about 160 feet deep! It’s become a localized tourist attraction and there’s even been concerts on the lake with musicians performing on rafts. The lake formed from rainwater filling up the caldera like a swimming pool and it’s relatively new, forming about 3000 years ago. This used to be a cone shaped volcano and when all of the lava was spewed, parts of the magma chamber collapsed
1.Mt. Hekla
In the land of fire and ice, we feel as though it’s appropriate to put Iceland's most active and one of their most dangerous volcanoes as our number 1. Hikers still visit this place despite the possibility of it going off at any moment! It last went off in 2000 and geologists have certainly been monitoring this place more closely now . Despite its potential to devastate the country, it’s become an iconic symbol of iceland and there’s even an airplane Icelandair decided to name the Hekla Aurora. This amazing geological structure is perfect example of how something can be beautiful and deadly at the same time. You better believe an eruption could certainly ruin someone’s vacation here, but it seems worth the risk.

Iceland is by far one of the most unique places we've ever visited. It honestly felt like we were on a different planet! It was like a photographers dreamland, because the sunset lasted for 3 hours (hello golden hour!), and the sun never fully went down. We got back to our Airbnb around midnight every night, because we got too carried away exploring! We had the best time with Brad's sister Natalie and her little family -- they have two little girls that are exactly Lucy & Greta's age!

Ultimate 13 hidden secrets, things to do and best places to visit in Reykjavik. My travel guide is loaded with tips for Iceland which I carefully selected. You won't believe number #7 -- Can we make it to 1,000 LIKES? ---
Complete list: http://www.reformatt.com/13-travel-tips-iceland
Trust me, Iceland has a lot more to offer besides natural beauty and breathtaking scenery.
The best time to visit Iceland is either in early February to see the Northern Lights or mid-summer for the Icelandic music festivals.
1. Start off at CafeLoki and try their incredible Icelandic lamp soup, herring sandwich and rye bread ice cream.
2. Hallgrimskirkja, the famous church in Reykjavik, known for its unique architecture and mesmerizing view of the city.
3. Harpa, the unique concert and event venue, known for its futuristic design and enjoys the best acoustics in the world.
4. KolaportidFlea Market, get yourself a warm Icelandic sweater or other odd Icelandic products.

6. Seabaron, hidden secret in the Reykjavik harbor where you can try the controversial WhaleSteak and world's best lobster soup.
7. Svio, aka Icelandic Sheep's Head. An odd dish that can be ordered at certain local restaurants or at the BSI drive-thru. Creep out your friends by going all out by trying the tongue, nose and eye.
8. Northern Lights, its hit or miss with this event, best time to go is early February.
9. Blue Lagoon, nowadays not a hidden secret anymore, but a spot that cannot be missed. This incredible place is one of the wonders of the world and is world's biggest geothermal spa.

Travel video about destination Reykjavik in Iceland.
Reykjavik is Iceland`s gateway to the world and is one of the smallesThe Hallgrims Kirkja is one of Reykjavik’s main landmarks, a Neo Gothic church that was built between 1945 and 1986. It was named after a famous religious minister and poet of the 17th century, Hallgímur Pétursson. Both its design and large dimensions are impressive. Tjörnin is located in the centre of the city, a wonderful small lake surrounded by spacious parks and the new City Hall is also located there. Krists Kirkja is the city’s main Catholic church and in 1989 the Pope preached within its walls marking the first visit of the Pontificate to Iceland. Narrow elegant bridges span across the splendid ponds of the Botanical Garden, a popular destination for the inhabitants of Reykjavik. However, small forests of conifers are the only real sign of nature on this remote and barren island. Chimneys are a rarity in Reykjavik. The majority of its houses are heated by geothermic water. Indeed, many of its pavements and streets are heated, a convenient asset that saves much money on snow clearance and makes life a lot easier for the local population. In Iceland the summer months are bright but in spring and autumn there are long periods when there is little daylight. July is the time of the famous midnight sun and thanks to the Gulf Stream the island enjoys a relatively temperate climate with cool summers and quite mild winters. Historic sights, hi-tech buildings and the charm of a small town. All this is Reykjavik, a remote metropolis built on fire and ice!t metropolises on Earth. Just over a hundred thousand people live in this the northernmost of all cities that is sometimes referred to as Iceland’s ‘Smokey Bay’.

Snow fall record in Reykjavik 2017. Driving early in the morning, no accident or crash.

On February 26 we had a 51 cm (20 inches) snowfall, a all time record for Reykjavik, Iceland.
I am filming this at 5:18 a.m. at Sunday morning since, still, staff have to get to work!
Usually, if we make it to the main road we are home free, but this time we also have to pick up one of my wife's colleagues, so we have to enter an another area of local houses that has definitely not been cleared of snow.
The authorities strongly advised people not to be driving around unless they had well equipped 4x4 cars. The clearing of the snow in all areas was expected to take days. Our Honda CRV model year 2006, with a 150 bhp petrol/gas engine is an all wheel drive car but hardly a 4x4. It is not a proper off road vehicle. The ground clearance is not very good. However, it is equipped new Nokian Hakk...

Hlemmur (2002)

Reykjavik, a strange combination of village and adolescent city. Bus connections are so poor here that people only use them as a last resort: children and teenagers, the poor, the old, the sick, the strange. No wonder Hlemmur, Reykjavik's biggest bus station, is the most disdained place in Iceland's capital
It is these regular visitors to the Hlemmur bus station that the camera observes. People who have made Hlemmur their second home. They are almost all men and their common goal seems to be to find a way of passing the time. Most of them once had a family, a wife and children, but now they are alone. Something has thrown them off-track: some have been ruined by drink, others struggle with serious mental illnesses, others are on benefit or are simply old and lonely
But as one of the film'...

Invasion of Iceland

The invasion of Iceland, codenamed Operation Fork, was a British military operation conducted by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines during World War II. The invasion began in the early morning of 10 May 1940 with British troops disembarking in Reykjavík, capital of neutral Iceland. Meeting no resistance, the troops moved quickly to disable communication networks, secure strategic locations, and arrest German citizens. Requisitioning local means of transportation, the troops moved to Hvalfjörður, Kaldaðarnes, Sandskeið, and Akranes to secure landing areas against the possibility of a German counterattack. In the following days air defence equipment was deployed in Reykjavík and a detachment of troops was sent to Akureyri.
In the evening of 10 May, the government of Iceland issued a protest, c...

Travel video about destination Reykjavik in Iceland.
Reykjavik is Iceland`s gateway to the world and is one of the smallesThe Hallgrims Kirkja is one of Reykjavik’s main landmarks, a Neo Gothic church that was built between 1945 and 1986. It was named after a famous religious minister and poet of the 17th century, Hallgímur Pétursson. Both its design and large dimensions are impressive. Tjörnin is located in the centre of the city, a wonderful small lake surrounded by spacious parks and the new City Hall is also located there. Krists Kirkja is the city’s main Catholic church and in 1989 the Pope preached within its walls marking the first visit of the Pontificate to Iceland. Narrow elegant bridges span across the splendid ponds of the Botanical Garden, a popular destination for the inhabitants of Reykjavik. However, small forests of conifers are the only real sign of nature on this remote and barren island. Chimneys are a rarity in Reykjavik. The majority of its houses are heated by geothermic water. Indeed, many of its pavements and streets are heated, a convenient asset that saves much money on snow clearance and makes life a lot easier for the local population. In Iceland the summer months are bright but in spring and autumn there are long periods when there is little daylight. July is the time of the famous midnight sun and thanks to the Gulf Stream the island enjoys a relatively temperate climate with cool summers and quite mild winters. Historic sights, hi-tech buildings and the charm of a small town. All this is Reykjavik, a remote metropolis built on fire and ice!t metropolises on Earth. Just over a hundred thousand people live in this the northernmost of all cities that is sometimes referred to as Iceland’s ‘Smokey Bay’.

The Republic of Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a population of 332,529 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Reykjavík and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence still keeps summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate.
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in the year 874 CE when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent settler on the island. In the following centuries, Norwegians, and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians, immigrated to Iceland, bringing with them thralls of Gaelic origin. The island was governed as an independent commonwealth under the Althing, one of the world's oldest functioning legislative assemblies. Following a period of civil strife, Iceland acceded to Norwegian rule in the 13th century. In 1814, it came under the rule of Denmark, during which a distinct Icelandic national identity emerged. This culminated in independence in 1918 and the founding of a republic in 1944. Until the 20th century, Iceland relied largely on subsistence fishing and agriculture, and was among the poorest in Europe. Industrialisation of the fisheries and Marshall Plan aid following World War II brought prosperity, and Iceland became one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 1994, it became a part of the European Economic Area, which further diversified the economy into sectors such as finance, biotechnology, and manufacturing.
Iceland has a market economy with relatively low taxes compared to other OECD countries. It maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. Iceland ranks high in economic, political and social stability and equality. In 2013, it was ranked as the 13th most-developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index. Iceland runs almost completely on renewable energy. Affected by the ongoing worldwide financial crisis, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed in October 2008, leading to a severe depression, substantial political unrest, the Icesave dispute, and the institution of capital controls. Many bankers were jailed, and the economy has made a significant recovery, in large part due to a surge in tourism.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Scandinavian heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Germanic and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is descended from Old Norse and is closely related to Faroese and WestNorwegian dialects. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, Icelandic literature and medieval sagas. Iceland has the smallest population of any NATO member and is the only one with no standing army, its lightly armed coast guard being in charge of defence.

Reykjavik, a strange combination of village and adolescent city. Bus connections are so poor here that people only use them as a last resort: children and teenagers, the poor, the old, the sick, the strange. No wonder Hlemmur, Reykjavik's biggest bus station, is the most disdained place in Iceland's capital
It is these regular visitors to the Hlemmur bus station that the camera observes. People who have made Hlemmur their second home. They are almost all men and their common goal seems to be to find a way of passing the time. Most of them once had a family, a wife and children, but now they are alone. Something has thrown them off-track: some have been ruined by drink, others struggle with serious mental illnesses, others are on benefit or are simply old and lonely
But as one of the film's protagonists points out, no one asks whether life is fair. In winter, the homeless have little choice but to crawl under a tree and spend the night there when they are drunk, or try their luck at the "Hotel Hilton", as they call Reykjavik's biggest prison, next to Hlemmur. The life of these down-and-outs seems to be one endless cycle of scraping together enough money for the high-proof cardamom essence they drink, and the desperate attempt to remember what happened the day before. And the only thing left to many of them is the hope they won't have to survive the following day. They speak frankly and surprisingly poetically about their life on the street and what drove them there. Very gradually, the viewers develop a close rapport with these men
Occasionally, Hlemmur's frequenters believe things might be getting better. Like when the depressive Josef finds work again for the first time in ten years. The camera accompanies him to the Kleppur psychiatric clinic where for a few hours every day, he packs bag after bag into box after endless box. Or when the almost 70-year old Omar goes for detox treatment at a remote, top-security clinic on the outskirts of Reykjavik, or the alert but mentally unstable Bj rgvin Omar sits on a bench outside the bus station twitching convulsively but still clinging to the hope that he'll one day get better. Almost desperately, we hope their timid dreams of a normal life will come true, not least of all because they are so conscious of their situation. But it's clear there's no going back.

The invasion of Iceland, codenamed Operation Fork, was a British military operation conducted by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines during World War II. The invasion began in the early morning of 10 May 1940 with British troops disembarking in Reykjavík, capital of neutral Iceland. Meeting no resistance, the troops moved quickly to disable communication networks, secure strategic locations, and arrest German citizens. Requisitioning local means of transportation, the troops moved to Hvalfjörður, Kaldaðarnes, Sandskeið, and Akranes to secure landing areas against the possibility of a German counterattack. In the following days air defence equipment was deployed in Reykjavík and a detachment of troops was sent to Akureyri.
In the evening of 10 May, the government of Iceland issued a protest, charging that the neutrality of Iceland had been "flagrantly violated" and "its independence infringed" and noting that compensation would be expected for all damage done. The British promised compensation, favourable business agreements, non-interference in Icelandic affairs, and the withdrawal of all forces at the end of the war. Resigning themselves to the situation, the Icelandic authorities provided the invasion force with de facto cooperation, though formally maintaining a policy of neutrality.

Reykjavik -Capital of Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland’s coastal capital, is renowned for the late-night clubs and bars in its compact center. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s dramatic landscape is the volcanic setting of the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa.

Tour around Reykjavík in Iceland

Video tour around Reykjavik in Iceland.
Reykjavík (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈreiːcaˌviːk] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of Iceland. Its latitude, at 64°08' N, makes it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of the Faxaflói Bay. With a population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Greater Reykjavík Area), it is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which Ingólfur Arnarson is said to have established around AD 870. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.
